I found their ability to write from a paralyzed person's perspective very intuitive.A classic tale that has enchanted millions of readers worldwide, Mrs. I really really like the turn of events toward the end. What things in my life am I 'letting be' instead of doing something about?
We make choices because that is what is expected of us instead of making them because of our desires and confidence in our ability to do so. I think we must all be that way sometimes. So many times I wanted to shake the main character by the shoulders when she would 'go with the flow.' I could see she had the strength to choose differently and stand up for herself (like when she wouldn't do her dad's laundry), yet she couldn't see it in herself to do it. I find it interesting to read of the different lifestyles people lead. I read it in one sitting one evening, so that probably had something to do with my being 'into' it more.
That's hard to say, because I enjoyed each one, but I found myself much more 'into' this one, vs. I most likely won't go back to read The Search for Joyful or any further stories related to Mrs. I will say that the writing itself was good, but the ideas behind it could have used a boost. After closing the book, I thought, "That's it? That's how it ends? I kept reading for this?" There wasn't a satisfying conclusion for me. The ending does little to satisfy this reader. Then there's her relationships with men in which she's a hypocrite and deserves the bad relationships she keeps falling into. It shows her rise to and descent from stardom (she's a singer), all of which were a bit tedious to read.
The story takes us from Kathy Little Bird's beginnings as a teenager to herself as a middle-aged adult. Now, I don't have to like the main character to enjoy a novel, but I have to at least enjoy the plot. She was a bit selfish, hypocritical, and self-righteous. The book just seemed to drag on and on about a character I didn't particular care for, Mrs.
I didn't realize at the time that it was a second sequel, following The Search for Joyful. I remember enjoying it, so when I discovered Kathy Little Bird, a sequel, in the store one day, I decided to pick it up.
